I ordered 5 items from said website on April 3, 2025. My order was shipped through ***** tracking number #************. Order was split and I received 2 of the 3 packages. Per ***** the remaining package is lost/stolen which contains Steering Rack, Power. Part #RD28950002 for $188.99. Ive contacted customer service several times which is sourced out to the ***********. They are refusing a refund for the part I didnt receive. They are also claiming I declined shipping protection, which is a false statement bc I wasnt offered shipping protection. I paid over $72 in shipping and this Company said I was basically out of luck. Im requesting my money back on the part I didnt receive plus taxes and shipping .so that I may get this part elsewhere.Business Response

I made the purchase on April 11, 2025 for $221.78 for brake parts for my 2012 Malibu. At the time of purchase, the company promised shipping for that Monday. Saturday the shipping updated and showed Monday for half the order Friday for the rest. I even paid for worry free shipping. Monday 4/14 the shipping changed half on Wednesday and half on Friday. Only thats the the big issue, today 4/14, the company took an extra $160 out my account! Stating its an authorization hold but the product has already been fully paid for! Whats the hold for? Please help with my $160 and confirmation of my order.Business Response
Date: 04/26/2025
Please accept our sincerest apologies for any trouble or inconvenience we have caused you. Our record shows that no double charge was made to your account. Thus, you placed an order for a total authorization amount of $221.81 on 4/11/25 and was captured/charged on 4/12/25 ($61.31) and 4/14/25 ($160.50) as the parts were shipped out. Per the Order Confirmation Mail, "Note this is a pre-authorization only, not a final charge. You will be billed for each shipment as tracking information becomes available. For orders with multiple items, you may see incremental charges on your card as items can be dispatched from different warehouses. All charges will add up to your total order amount. You may track your order status here." Hence, no other charge has been made to your account.
Your order then was confirmed as delivered through ***** tracking#************ on Thursday, 4/17/25 at 11:55 AM and through **** tracking#********************** on April 16, 2025, 11:09 am at your address in *****************************************.

I am rejecting this response because:
This company has very bad behavior because it doesn't address its customers' complaints, and I have to resort to threatening your reputation to get you to help me.
This statement isn't true. None of my cards used for purchases received their refund. Then you should clarify exactly where the refund was deposited. Because none of my accounts have received the money. You should clarify where the money went via a private email.

I places an order with carparts.com on March *******, my total was the following Subtotal for parts $364.49 Shipping: $64.23 Tax:$34.32 Coupon: - $36.45 Order Total:$426.59 I ordered the wrong parts and decided to return the parts immediately on March 26th,2025. I received an email starting I would only get back $290.76. I understand paying for shipping back but I was charged taxes when I bought the parts and I am being told I am being charged taxes again for returning. How does that even make sense. They have received the parts and I am losing $135.83 which makes absolutely no sense. This company should be looked into, they are charging taxes for buying and returning a product. I believe that is illegal to do.Business Response
